Correct Answer:
B. French Revolution
Correct answer: French Revolution. The word “terrorism” comes from the Reign of Terror (1793–94) during the French Revolution.
Background: The word comes from the Reign of Terror (1793–94), when the French revolutionary government used fear and executions to stay in power.
- Russian Revolution: The Russian Revolution took place later, in 1917.
- Cuban Revolution: The Cuban Revolution took place later, in 1959.
- None of these: “None of these” is incorrect because the French Revolution is correct.
Did you know? The term first described terror used by a government against its people, not attacks by groups, which is how we use it today.
Memory trick: French Revolution → Terror → Terrorism (T for Terror).
